Two-time Olympic gold medalist Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce competed in style, sporting a Richard Mille watch during the women’s 100m round one heat at the Paris 2024 Summer Olympic Games.
On Friday, Pryce participated in her fifth and final Olympics, where she competed in the round one heat and dominated the competition in the women’s 100m race. During the race, Pryce wore a luxury Richard Mille 07-04 Automatic Sport watch, alongside other jewelry.

This choice accessory comes as no surprise, given that Pryce signed a deal to become a brand ambassador for the Swiss company last year. In a statement, Pryce shared that she teamed up with the company because of their similar vision regarding legacy.
“It’s about pushing barriers. People have always told me what I could or couldn’t do, [so] I wanted to be part of a brand that knows about timing, where age doesn’t limit your progress,” she said in a statement. “At the end of the day, we have the same vision as it pertains to our legacy. What we want to achieve is timeless.”
Richard Mille also celebrated the collaboration and shared why Pryce is the perfect ambassador to work with his company.
“She is a strong woman who combines sprinting with being a mother,” Mille said in a statement. “As if that wasn’t already enough, she finds the energy for her charity work and this all-round commitment totally reflects our values.”
Pryce posted the second fastest time of the heats with an incredible 10.92, steamrolling her way into the women’s 100m semi-finals in Paris. People are hoping Pryce makes it through to the finals to take on the reigning world champion, Sha’Carri Richardson, who put up a time of 10.94 during her round one heat.
